A long-time favorite of fleet buyers like delivery services and the Post Office (not since 1984 though), if you’re interested, you can buy a Wrangler Unlimited in right-hand drive. In case you forgot, reminded us all that if you want something brand new () that’s RHD, Jeep will supply.

The Wrangler RHD is its own trim in the Wrangler lineup now. Starting at $38,925, it sits toward the higher end of the lineup, slotting between the Sport Altitude below and the Sahara above.

I’m not quite sure who the market would be for this. It’s a niche for sure, but this being Jeep, I’m sure there is some appeal out there somewhere. You’re paying more for less. No doubt most of the cost of this thing is wrapped up in the unique RHD setup.

Opting for the RHD trim limits you. For starters, you can’t get RHD on the two-door. It’s only available on Unlimited models. Also, the only engine and transmission available is the base 2.0-liter turbo-four with the eight-speed auto. No V6, diesel, or stick. Don’t count on any serious off-road goodies either. While it does have 4WD and you get skid plates on the transmission and transfer case, it gets a Dana M200 rear axle along with conventional differential front and rear axles. You also can only get 17-inch wheels and you can choose any top as long as it’s either a black three-piece hardtop or no top .

Inside, it’s basic Wrangler as well, sporting cloth seats with manual adjustments and a laughably small five-inch touch screen on the dash. You can choose an Alpine audio system for $1,295 and a $995 cold weather package, but that’s it. Loaded out you’re looking at $42,955 for a RHD Wrangler. This may be one of the greatest Wranglers to ever go on sale in its simplicity, if that’s what you’re looking for. That and taking a leap of faith every time you pull out to pass on a country two-lane.

If You Are Going To Buy A Family Car, Don’t Forget The Family Part
People buy vehicles for all kinds of reasons. Some of them are rational, and some of them are emotional. There is nothing wrong with buying a car because it’s fast, or stylish, or it just makes you feel good when you drive it. However, when the primary objective is...

I'm Looking For a Radwood-Style Car For The Occasional Track Day For Under $10,000! What Should I Buy?
Mike is looking for an inexpensive car that can handle some track days, but he wants a cool ride from the ‘80s or ‘90s. Ideally, it would have a manual and rear-wheel-drive, but he isn’t too picky. However, he doesn’t have a ton of cash to spend and #Radwood...

Would You Drop $249,900 On Carroll Shelby’s 1983 De Tomaso Pantera GTS?
Being a “one-owner” car holds special cachet in the used car market. Having that one owner be the late great Carroll Shelby as is the case of today’s Pantera turns that cachet into holy crap! Let’s see what being ‘Ol Shel’s car might just be worth. This past weekend...

The 325 HP 2020 Cadillac CT4-V Starts At $45,490
We’ve already complained the newly-designated ’s horsepower output is disappointing, as its measly 325 HP doesn’t recall the tire-melting thunder we’re used to from V cars. Now we know it starts at $45,490, and it’s not a bad value in the crowd it’s in. Additionally, Cadillac also announced pricing...

If your motto has always been “go big or go home” then you’ll love today’s “big coupe” Bimmer. Let’s find out if this Teutonic two-door’s price tag is also kind of a big deal. Working on cars can be fun. I mean, if it’s not raining. Yesterday’s needed some...
